Fileselector Button

Widget description

This is a button that, when clicked, creates an Elementary window (or inner window) with a Fileselector within.

When a file is chosen, the (inner) window is closed and the button emits a signal having the selected file as it’s event_info.

This widget encapsulates operations on its internal file selector on its own API. There is less control over its file selector than that one would have instantiating one directly.

Available styles

  • default

  • anchor

  • hoversel_vertical

  • hoversel_vertical_entry

Emitted signals

  • file,chosen - the user has selected a path which comes as the event_info data

Layout text parts

  • default - Label of the fileselector_button

Layout content parts

  • icon - Icon of the fileselector_button

Fileselector Interface

This widget supports the fileselector interface.

If you wish to control the fileselector part using these functions, inherit both the widget class and the Fileselector class using multiple inheritance, for example:

class CustomFileselectorButton(Fileselector, FileselectorButton):
    def __init__(self, canvas, *args, **kwargs):
        FileselectorButton.__init__(self, canvas)
